Yes, this is possible.
Each aspect of db schema can be changed.

To better understand possible benefits of Valentina I advice you review in
5-30 minutes few our articles of such kind in Valentina WIKI

:articles>
 
Short and not complete list:


* speed -- can be times faster of normal row-based dbs (mySQL, SQLite,
postgre, MS SQL, ...)


* smarter -- Valentina Data Model is extended Relational model.

* simpler SQL -- because smarter :)


* mySQL do all via SQL,
 Valentina have this way and API way.

So if you have haer good words about Key/Value DBs, about non-SQL DBs,
Then Valentina is a perfect example of such DB also ..
Valentina is hybrid of many worlds.


* recursive queries

 * SELECT for XML  -> returns ready for use XML..
    todo json


* mySQL is SERVER ... And only.
  SQLite - local engine only

  Valentina have and SERVER and embedded engine ...
  so you have from box working both ways without any headacke.


* Valentina Reports  -- right now we prepare very interesting news and
examples ... 


And so on ... 
Please ask more if you need.
